When solving a problem with $$ on the line, people ignored the advice of experts with different political views—even though the task had nothing to do with politics. Let's not forget that it's more important to be right than to feel righteous. https://lnkd.in/g3AmPxN
Statistically 6 out of 7 dwarfs are not Happy.
It's not just about bias, it's about trust. You take advice from people you trust. You trust their judgement and their advice because of prior experience with that person. It's also how the advice is given. I have followed what turned out to be bad advice because it was presented better than the good advice given by someone I perceive as being wrong on a lot of other things. I hate it when that happens, but that is human nature. Wisdom is being able to sort out between the options given based on logic, rather than the presentation of the advice. However, the bias that I experience more often has been while I sat in a room full of men. I have presented options for a solution to a problem, only to be ignored because I am a woman. It didn't take long for one of the men to present my exact same option and that time it's received well, only because it wasn't proposed by a woman. Obviously I had failed to gain their trust, but it could also because of an unfair bias.
"STUPID"...:)...I know I know...I was really going out on a limb there.?
